Facebook and Google+: Can They Help You Get New Chiropractic Patients?
Posted on 2011-07-19 08:55:30
If you are a time-crunched chiropractic business owner, you probably want to concentrate on only the most impactful online marketing tools for your chiropractic website. In order to effectively market your business online, you will need to know how new patients are finding chiropractors on the internet. One of the most common ways that patients are locating new chiropractors is through internet searches on search engines like Google.com, Bing.com, and Yahoo.com. But what must a chiropractor do to market themselves online and to be easily found by new patients? Google, Bing, and Yahoo are the most widely-used search engines, but what steps need to be taken to get your information to show up in the search engines and which search engine should you be focusing your web marketing strategy on to get new patients?
For a chiropractor, the first step to generating new patients from the internet is to obtain a search engine friendly and user optimized chiropractic website. For chiropractors without a lot of competition in their area, just putting up an optimized website with business information may be all that is needed to climb to the top of the search results. For chiropractic clinics that are located in competitive markets, however, the first step should be a chiropractor-optimized search engine marketing strategy. If you are a chiropractor who needs help getting started with your own search engine marketing strategy, don't hesitate to refer to our free chiropractic SEO Guide which has been specifically created to help chiropractors market themselves online effectively without breaking their budget.
Because search engine optimization is so important to what we do at ChiroMatrix, we stay on top of new developments regarding successful web marketing and SEO strategies for chiropractors. That is why we've been keeping a close ear to the ground when it comes to the latest developments between competitors Google.com and Bing.com, two of the most popularly used search engines. These search engine giants have recently teamed up with social media hubs to improve their search results, and the resulting partnerships seem like they will have a huge impact on web marketing strategies. By staying ahead of the curve in regards to what will make a chiropractic website successful in the search engines, we help our ChiroMatrix website owners outrank their competition and turn their website into a new patient magnet.
Facebook and Google+: Can They Help You Get New Chiropractic Patients?
You may have heard that Bing partnered with Facebook in May 2011 to improve Bing's search results based on the websites that users are interacting with on Facebook. After the Facebook social search feature was rolled out, websites that were "Liked" on Facebook appear to climb the ranks in Bing's search results, without making any other changes. This has huge implications for chiropractic business owners who want to maximize their results and minimize their time spent focusing on web marketing. If creating a buzz on Facebook can help your website show up higher in the Bing search engine rankings, then Facebook seems like a great place to invest time with your online marketing strategy. However, trying to interact with patients and attract new business on Facebook has been hit or miss for many chiropractors, where some experience huge successes on Facebook while others feel only frustration. Even though interacting on Facebook may help your website show up on Bing, it is important to note that Bing is still much smaller than Google. While Bing has been gaining ground on Google since its inception, Google still took about 64% of the search volume compared to Bing's 32% of the searches in May 2011 (Credit: Compete). That means that Google gets about twice as many searches as Bing. So what can a chiropractor do to improve their search results and optimize their websites for Google?
Google has recently released its own version of the Facebook "Like" which is known as the Google "+1." It can get a bit awkward to talk about multiple Google +1's, so let's get the terminology out in the open. If a website gets two or three Google +1's, they will now have +2 or +3.
After the release of the +1, SEO professionals have been trying to figure out what the purpose of this new tool will be for search engine marketing. Then Google changed the playing field. Less than two weeks ago, Google surprised the world by releasing Google+ (pronounced "Google Plus"). Google+ is a new take on social interaction on the internet and in many ways is like other social networks such as Facebook. However, there are some major differences, such as using Google +1's instead of Facebook Likes.

Google+ is a new take on social interaction on the internet and in many ways is like other social networks such as Facebook. However, there are some major differences, such as using Google +1's instead of Facebook Likes.
Even though the +1 feature has only been around a short while, preliminary tests already indicate that websites which have received +1's tend to show up higher in Google's search results. This is just like how Facebook Likes seem to help websites show up higher in Bing. The fact that +1's can help a chiropractic website show up higher in Google search results has huge implications for web marketing, since this is a brand new way to improve a website's Google search rankings. Some SEO experts even feel that chiropractors may get more bang for their buck focusing on getting Google +1's over Facebook Likes.
So what does this mean to you, the busy chiropractor? Should you be worrying about Google+ and +1's? Chances are, you may have to wait to decide because Google+ is currently in a limited field trial, which means that registration was opened to the public for a short while, and then closed again while Google continues to test and refine the Google+ interface. However, +1's are available to everyone and because the +1 helps websites do better in the Google search results, there are some strong incentives for chiropractic website owners to try to get +1's for their website now, and then try to get a Google+ account when it's officially released.
The most important take away from this article is that social media hubs such as Facebook and Google+ are making a huge impact on the web marketing landscape. Right now, Facebook has a much higher adoption rate while Google+ is still in a closed trial, but Google +1's may possibly be more effective at improving search engine results than Facebook Likes. Chances are, the best results will be achieved by taking a web marketing strategy that utilizes both Facebook Likes and Google +1's.

Any easy way to monitor and track how your site is performing, is to integrate Google Analytics into your site. How do I do this? With your Brimhall Website it has already been integrated into the site. You only need to follow 3 easy steps in your iControl to set it up.
Login to you iControl - Click on Settings - Click on Google Analytics on the top tab.
Follow these 3 steps to setup your site to run with Google Analytics
Step 1. Create a Google Account - http://www.google.com/analytics/
(If you already have a Google Account, proceed to Step 2.)
Step 2. Register for Google Analytics
(If you already have a Google Analytics Account, proceed to Step 3.)
Step 3. Enter the Google Analytics Source Code in the box provided in the section of your iControl. Google will send you an email with the source code.
Use Google Analytics to learn which online marketing initiatives are cost effective and see how visitors actually interact with your site. Make informed site design improvements, drive targeted traffic, and increase your conversions and profits.
Formatting Keywords and Meta Tags
Posted on 2011-07-07 10:16:02
Meta Tags
The first thing you need to do with your pages is make sure the exact keyword phrase you are trying to rank for is in your title, description and keywords for the page. In the example image below, you will see an example of this for the keyword phrase “Mesa Arizona Chiropractor”
WHERE ARE MY META TAGS??
Now you can view all your Meta Tags and keywords for your entire site by logging into your iControl and navigating to Website Content > Meta Tags & Keywords. The Link will be above your page navigation, next to website banner, custom sidebar, etc.

Keyword Formatting
It is obviously important to include the exact keyword phrase in the body of the article, and I usually aim for about 4-5 times in a 400-500 word article.
However it is also important to make sure you use the keyword phrase in the first 50 words on the page in order to increase Google rankings. On top of that, you should aim to bold that keyword phrase once, and also make it italics somewhere else. It is also really important to have your keyword phrase is in the last sentence of the page.
Long Tail Keywords

Long Tail Keywords
At the start of an ongoing search engine optimization campaign there is normally a list of keywords chosen to optimize for based on the keyword research that was done. Rankings and return on investment can be tracked for these targeted search terms over the duration of the campaign. What is often not tracked is the related long tail keywords that also benefit from the SEO strategies used to improve rankings for the main targeted search terms. Because the keyword phrases are closely related and are often found in the content of the targeted landing page, the related long tail keywords also receive a boost in rankings. This boost will not be apparent in reports focused on the primary keywords alone because these terms are usually not tracked with the main targeted keyword phrases.
Example Main Search Term (Bees)
Example Main Search Term (Bees)
Related Long Tail Keyword (Honey Bees)
Related Long Tail Keyword (North American Honey Bees)
So then what should you do if after several months you are not seeing an ROI for your main targeted keywords? Look at the website traffic from a broader perspective. Look for long tail keywords that relate to the main targeted search terms and find revenue generated by those keyword phrases. That revenue is also part of the ROI for your SEO campaign.
